Scientists advising the World Health Organisation have recommended the use of the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in adults of all ages.
The WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunisation has issued interim recommendations on the vaccine, saying that the jab could be given to people aged 18 and above “without an upper age limit”.
“That means people over the age of 65 years of age should be given the vaccination,” the group’s chairman Dr Alejandro Cravioto told a press briefing.
It comes after a number of countries opted not to give the jab to those over the age of 65 due to doubts over its effectiveness.
